1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

Toasts 181 When I said I should die a bachelor,I did not think I should live till I were married. —Shakespeare Tell me, ye lovers of liquor divine. Did you ever see a frown in a bumper of wine? —"Clio and Euterpe"

Here's to matrimony—and a good compass to steer its seas!

To my pal—that too many may not make my share of his friendship too small! Thou hast no faults, or I no faults can spy. Thou art all beauty, or all blindness I! —Codrington

Let wine be earth and air and sea— And let that wine be all for me! —Anon

May all single men be wed and all husbands happy!

Some men want youth and others health, Some want a wife and some a punk. Some men want wit and others wealth. But they want NOTHING that are drunk! —Old Song

Here's to you and you to me And thirsty souls where'er they be!

Come,fill the cup to keep the spirits up By drinking the spirits down.

To Grief—without which our joys were tame! A toast to all our neighbors—so long as they mind their own business! To Hell! May we have as good a time there As we had in getting there! —Anon A toast to Dan Cupid,the great evil-doer; A merciless rogue—may his darts ne'er grow fewer! —Estelle Foreman
